CLI
Routa CLI is the best entry point if you want terminal-first usage or scriptable workflows.
Install Options
npm
npm install -g routa-cli
This is the recommended install path for most CLI users.
Cargo
cargo install routa-cli
Try Without Installing
npx -p routa-cli routa --help
First Commands
routa --help
routa --version
routa -p "Explain the architecture of this repository"
routa -p "Plan the next refactor for this codebase"
routa acp runtime-status
Good Fit
Use CLI when you want:
- one-shot prompts
- provider/runtime inspection
- scripting and automation
- direct terminal workflows inside a repository
What Success Looks Like
Your first CLI setup is working once you can:
- run
routa --help - execute one prompt against a real repository with
routa -p "..." - inspect runtime state with
routa acp runtime-status
